The photo shown below was left at the Monster Mart in Fouke, Arkansas. There is a small display at the store of newspaper articles on a bulletin board, along with a display case of Fouke Monster t-shirts, Fouke Monster stuffed dolls, postcards and other items.

There is even a footprint cast on display. It’s not a Fouke Monster footprint cast however. It’s a copy of a PNW footprint cast. In the above photo, you can see our esteemed Cryptomundo correspondent holding said cast during our trip to Fouke in October of 2002. You can also see the above mentioned newspaper articles tacked to the board behind the case.

The photo below was tacked to the board and was found by M. K. Davis on one of his trips to Fouke. Store owner Rickie Roberts allowed M. K. to make a copy of the photo, shown below.

Closeup of the subject in above photo. Is this a photo of the Fouke Monster?

About Craig WoolheaterCo-founder of Cryptomundo in 2005.
I have appeared in or contributed to the following TV programs, documentaries and films:
OLN's Mysterious Encounters: "Caddo Critter", Southern Fried Bigfoot, Travel Channel's Weird Travels: "Bigfoot", History Channel's MonsterQuest: "Swamp Stalker", The Wild Man of the Navidad, Destination America's Monsters and Mysteries in America: Texas Terror - Lake Worth Monster, Animal Planet's Finding Bigfoot: Return to Boggy Creek and Beast of the Bayou.

that’s a man. The arms are way too short and look at the stance in the closeup. Weight shifted on one leg with the opposite knee slightly bent; that’s just some dude standing around thinking, “hurry up and take the picture”.

By the way, i’m assuming that the Fouke monster is/was/is related to the creature in the film, “The Legend of Boggy Creek”. Right?

Yup looks like the Monster Mart to me…I’ve got a photo around here of ole bub’s mug in the cutout of the Fouke Monster in the park north of the Monster Mart…the grub at the local squat and gobble used to be passable…

That’s a blobsquatch for sure…I see them frequently especially without my bi-focalled spectacles…

Excellent point from caddo! The pics are always a blob, out of focus. Ole skunker never picks a tourist with a digital camera with a working auto focus and zoom lens. But before shooting one? Make sure it’s not brother jack in his monkey suit!

Looks like a guy decked out in winter gear – heavy winter coat with hood, snow pants and boots. The proportions look more man like than bigfoot-like (using the proportions seen in the Patterson/Gimlin film)

Wouldn’t it be funny if this actually turns out to be a real photograph. I mean, nobody for sure knows what one looks like, and from all the reports 9ft tall yada yada. It’s all about the elements of fear and surprise.

For example, last week a corn snake dropped out of my ceiling rafter. When I caught a glimpse of it coming down, that sucker looked like it was 10 ft plus. Finally, I worked up enough gut to go back in there and it was only 3 feet. Go figure.

ok. im new here. i was searching the fouke monster and i ended up here! so here’s the thing, I am from Fouke. Actually i am from a near microscopic town outside of fouke but i go to school in fouke. so anyways, honestly, i never really realized that the fouke monster was so widely known. i find that interesting. but it is my personal opinion that it is all a hoax. the reason i say this is one) fouke is a boring town, i would not be surprised if someone got bored, made themselves a monkey costume, and tried to become a legend. two) the thing hasnt been seen in over 30 years. this would only be conclusive if the person that was impersonating the monster either got bored or unfortunately passed away. here, too, is my opinion though: i dont really care if the thing is fake. He gives our town something to be known for (even if it is obsurd). It gives us something to laugh about orselves for!
